Version: 0.5 (using KDE 4.5.3) OS: Linux Whenever I solve or abort a puzzle a sound is played. I find this quite annoying and would like to turn it off but I couldn't find any way to do so. Neither is there an option in the settings menu nor can I do this within the System Settings -> Notifications (which would be less intuitive). Please consider to built in a way to turn the sound off or to remove the sound at all. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: Expected Results:
The sounds you are hearing come from the Plasma Notification system because standard message boxes are used. Currently, there are several options: 1) Mute all sounds - which does not work when you are playing music. 2) Go to Plasma "Audio Volume Settings" > Audio Volume > Applications > Notifications Sounds. Reduce or mute the volume for all notification sounds. 3) Go to Plasma "Notifications" System Settings Module > Event Source: Plasma Workspace. Look for "Information Message" and disable the "Play a Sound" option. I think your request is still valid because all three options are working globally. I change this request to a wish though.
Several KMessageBox methods have an "options" parameter which defaults to "Notify". You could individually set the value of this parameter to zero in all messages in KSudoku, I suppose. But I think the idea of the default is to help implement Accessibility features in KDE apps, which I think would be of value in KSudoku, eg. to a visually impaired person who enjoys Sudoku puzzles.
